Q. Does Purely Picnics VA Stay during our Picnic?

If you need to contact us during your picnic, you can call or text your Purely Picnics VA Picnic Stylist (whose number is provided the day of your picnic) and they can be on site pretty quickly. We do ask that you let us know if you leave before the end of your picnic reservation so that we can clean up promptly.
Q. How far in advance do I need to book?
A. Our schedule fills up quickly and spots are limited, so we highly recommend booking sooner than later. We do request a 72 hour advance notice prior to your booking date. Last minute bookings are not guaranteed, but requests are always welcome. For picnic setups, you do not need to make reservations directly Bleu Frog Vineyards. If you are renting event space and request tablescaping, please contact Bleu Frog for availability. Once your event is confirmed, you can request our tablescaping services.
Q. What is your cancellation policy?
A. Due to the customization of each picnic package, we don't offer refunds but allow you to reschedule for a later date, provided you contact us 48 hours prior to your reservation. In the event of bad weather, we reserve the right to reschedule any outdoor picnic and will be in touch with you a few days prior to your picnic regarding the possibility of bad weather. Please read below for more information.
No-shows will not be rescheduled or refunded.
Q. What about bad weather?
A. Weather in Northern Virginia can be unpredictable, so we may have to reschedule your picnic due to the forecasted weather. We will contact you, in advance, if your picnic needs to be rescheduled. No refunds will be given if you choose not to reschedule your picnic. Since many of our bookings are made to celebrate a special occasion, we know that rescheduling may not be ideal. We are as flexible as possible.
Q. Should I include my children in the guest count when booking?
A. Children 5 & under should not be included in the guest count, however place settings and table space will only be provided for the number of guests specified. If you would like place settings and table space for all your guests, there is a $30 fee per person. If you let us know how many children 5 & under are in your party that won't need an actual table space, we will provide disposable plates and utensils at no additional charge. We can also set up a smaller side picnic for your children.
Q. Can I bring my dog to my picnic?
A. Yes! You are welcome to bring your dog to any outdoor picnics at Bleu Frog. Please check their policy on pets. While we love your furry friend, but please clean up after your own pet.
Q. Is a two-hour picnic required?
A. Purely Picnics VA packages include a two-hour reservation for your leisure. You are not obligated to stay the entire two hours, however we request that you text your Picnic Planner if you leave your picnic early, so we can respect the location's property. We will text you approximately 15 minutes before your reservation ends to let you know the clean up team is on the way. Additional hours can be booked in advance for a small fee.
Q. Do I need to contact Bleu Frog Vineyards prior to my picnic?
A. For picnics, the answer is no. Purely Picnics VA makes all the arrangements with Bleu Frog, so you do not need to call them directly.
